CHICAGO, June 14.-There are not as
many bricklayers leaving the city now as
when the lockout was inaugurated, and for
the same reason that keeps the bricklayers
cut Of this city. When the union here
raised its initiation fee to $25 for the pur-
pose of keeping bricklayers out of Chicago,
they did not think, probably, that other
cities would follow their example Those
brickayers who went from here TO Milwau-
kee, Kansas City and Omaha, were shocked
on reaching these cities to find that they
would not be allowed 10 work by the unions
until they paid their initiation fee.

turn when the trouble here Is settled, they

the cities named refused 10 change their con-
stitution to accommodate the Chicago visi-
tors. Several bricklayers, who left here q
week or two ago, have returned, as being
unable to pay the fee the union required,
they could get no work.

A crazy man, by name Wetterlind,
recently terrorized the Swedish town of
Goteborg for more than whole week.
He had locked himself in the top story
of a house whence he commanded n
wide sweep of street, and marked and
fired at any and everybody who APP
preached. After he had shot one man
dead the firemen attempted to drown
him out, but could not get near enough,
as the man was dead shot They
next made iron shields to protect them
in the approach, but these proved too
cumbersome. An attempt to dislodge
the lunatic by throwing dumb-bells
charged with electricity at him had to
be abandoned. A barricade was then
erected around the house by the police
and regular siege laid to it. The lunatic
stood it week before he was starved
out, and was then seized by strategy,
too weak to defend himself. He had
wounded number of people from his
perch during the singular campaign.

Etiquet In France.

ming with the opera. Lenten receptions,
and what are now generally called balls
blancs. The French girl never has any
cards of her own; when she is what they
call in England ..out'' her name is
written below her mothers. The letters
addressed to her are always delivered
first to her parents hands, who passes
them to her open or unopened. as she
thinks tit. She wears no jewels beyond
one row Of pearls round her neck. She
rides early before the fashionable hour
at the Bots, escorted by her father; her
brother may take her out driving, and
she is even permitted now to take the
reins, a liberty which ten years ago
would have stamped her as outrageous
" fast. French girls of almost any
rank, including the bourgeoise, never
walk out alone. They marry young,
presumably before 90.

A Veterans Excuse.

Gen. Sherman relates a very funny
story that happened on the march to
the Sea-" The army had halted for =
day or SO near the residence Of Meth
odist Bishop who was the owner of a
magnificent library of 200 volumes.
To head of the literary aspirations of
the veterans under him, the General is
sued an order forbidding anyone mo-
testing the bishops library. The very
next day Gen. Sherman encountered a
soldier only few yards from the resi-
dence, who, in addition to his musket,
haversack, knapsack, and ..forty
rounds" was struggling to carry an
immense Greek lexicon. The following
dialogue ensued: Gen. Sherman
Sharply: "Have you heard the gem
eral order about taking books from
that house?" Soldier: ..Yes, Gineral,
but it is awful dull in camp, and l
wanted something to read" Then
noticing the ominous cloud that was
settling on Sherman's brow, he held
the book out and said: ''but you can
have it, Gineral; it's nothing but Dutch,
anyhow"

A Clock or skeletons.

We are told Of strange clock that
is said to have belonged to a Hindoo
Prince. A large gong: was hung on
poles near the dial, and all about up on
the ground lay pile of artificial human
heads, ribs. legs, and arms. The whole
number of bones in the pile was equal
to the numper of bones in twelve per-
feet bodies, but the pile seemed to have
been thrown together in the greatest
confusion, When the hands Of the
clock indicated the hour of out from

heap sprang up, and, marching to the
gong, struck one after another his blow,
making twelve in all, then returning

Rukmibhai. the native lady whose
wrongs aroused SO general feeling of
sympathy in England and India was
married, according to Hindo usage, at
the age of IL to youth some years
her senior. She remained at her
parents house, was carefully educated.
and grew up, according to all
accounts. into q refined and high
~ cultivated lady. Some eighteen
months ago she published in the Times
of India, under the non de plume Of
"A Hindoo Lady series of forcible
and striking letters on the miseries
entailed on her sex in India by the
barbarous customs of infant marriage
and enforced widowhood.
Last year her husband tried TO get
her to live with him, and on her refus-
ing instituted suit for the restitution
Of conjugal rights in the Bombay High
Court. The case was tried in the first
instance by Mr.. Justice Pinhey, when,
it having been proved that the husband
was too poor to support her, was utter
" ignorant and uneducated-in fact, a
mere coolie-and was, moreover. con-
sumptive, the Judge expressed the 0pin-
ion that it would be barborous, cruel,
and revolving thing to compel her to
live with such man. He further held
that such suit could not lie under Hin
doc law, and dismissed it. The hus-
band appealed, and the case was argued
before the Chief Justice and Mr.. JUS
tice Bayley. Those learned Judges,
while expressing their entire sympathy
with RukmiDahia, felt compelled to rule
that Mr.. Justice Pinhey was wrong in
law, and remanded the case to the low
err court for trial on its merits.
1t is now being reheard before Mr..
Justice Farran, Rukmibhai's counsel
could only repeat that his client had
never consented to the marriage. and
never regarded the man as her husband;
that the husband was poor, ignorant,
and unwealthy, and that if ordered to
return to him she would be forced to
disobey, and was prepared to take the
consequences. The courthad no option
save to pass an order that she should
join her husband within month.
Should she fail to do so she would be
liable to six months imprisonment.
The case has excited much sympathy
among the Anglo-Indian community.
The English newspapers are publishing
articles and letters on the subject, and
steps are being taken in Bombay to
raise fund on her behalf.
Among the native community, how.
ever. hardly single voice except that
of Mr.. Malabari, Parsee gentleman,
has been raised in her favor, and the
| so-called reformers who agitate loudly
for representative institutions, ETC.,
say no word for the alteration of the
cruel law which the Bombay court has
been reluctantly compelled to enforce

Needles, Pins and Fishhooks.

According to the most recent esti-
mate, says the analyst, the present pro-
duction of needles in Redditch, Eng
land is not less than 50,O0O.O 900 per
week, and as may be inferred from
this enormous aggregate, machinery
has been brought to bear upon the
trade in most extensive degree, and
with marked success. The pointing Of
needles, one of the most delicate of all
the operations, is now almost exclu-
sively done by machinery, and 50 is the
cutting. skimming, stamping, eying,
tempering. counting, heading and
failing, blueing, Furnishing, finishing
asserting, and sticking. New and i'm
proved machines for all these processes
have been successfully introducedduri
the last twenty years or SO, and, unlike
the experience in other trades, the
the machine work about needles is
not only cheaper but better. The
latest novelty, and one which is
a pronounced success, is the ..groov-
ing' machine for making sewing ma
chine-needles, the old stamping pro-
cess being thereby superseded. Work
done by the growing machine is
better and:truer, besides being more eco.
nomical.
The old process Of ether gliding has
been almost entirely superseded by the
newer and improved method of electro
gliding. Redditch is becoming rival
Of Birmingham in the manufacture Of
pins, the ordinary common household
pin being supplemented by shawl and
scarf pins, with glass and steel heads.
About two tons weight of pins of all
sorts are made at Redditch weekly.
According to the latest phase which in
genious enterprise has taken in this
trade, the production ought to increase
by "leaps and bounds" for an attempt
is being made to SO reconstruct the ma
chimes that they may produce two pins
at q time instead Of one. Redditch
produces every week an average Of
20, 600, 900 fisLhooks of all descriptions,
from that required by the angler Of
minnows in the streamlet to that adapt
ed for pike and salmon fishermen.
Machinery is very largely used in the
manufacture of tishhooks. and, in con-
nection with the smaller class Of sea-
hooks, electro-tinning is being extern
sively adopted. Fishing-rods, floats,
and swivels now constitute imports nj
branches of Redditch industry. and a
considerable trade is growing up in the
production of artificial flies, which are
exclusively handmade.
